Valais (West)

The French-speaking western part of the Valais is sandwiched between two ranges of the Alps and bordered to the north by the Bernese Oberland, to the south by Italy and to the west by France.

It is an exceptional tourist and gastronomic destination, producing great wines and the famous raclette cheese, as well as apricots and williams pears which distillates are known internationally. It is a French-speaking region, but ancient dialects are still spoken in the most remote valleys.

It is of course also a paradise for winter sports and summer hiking. This part of the Valais is home to the world-famous resorts of Verbier, Crans-Montana and Vercorin, as well as the Grand-Saint-Bernard and Forclaz passes, which connect the Rhône Valley with the Aosta Valley in Italy and the Chamonix Valley in France.

Since 2023, our headquarters are located in Noës (Sierre) and we shoot hundreds of panoramas in many regions of Valais. Some of these regions are therefore beginning to be grouped into separate sections:We hope that this immersion in picturesque, spectacular and surprising places will make you want to discover Valais with your own eyes!

Be sure to also explore the Upper Valais (Wallis), the German-speaking part of the canton, home to other world-famous destinations such as Zermatt, Saas Fee, the Lötschental valley and the Aletsch Glacier.
